When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

This time, Nian Gengyao didn't even hesitate.

He responded directly, "Okay, if I can't protect the Nian family and my sister, what's the point of me being the King of the Northwest."

Seeing her brother compromise, Nian Shilan felt relieved but also regretful.

I feel sorry for my brother, sorry for his life.

Brother, I won't keep you waiting too long.

Nian Shilan swore secretly in her heart.

"Oh, there's one more thing."

Nian Gengyao looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Go to the Yangxin Palace and apologize to the emperor. You trespassed into the imperial concubines' palace today. Although it was because of the curse, it is still against the rules. It is better to go earlier."

Nian Gengyao didn't care about this matter, he even knew when to apologize.

He even felt a little regretful, wondering why he hadn't killed that vicious woman first.

Nian Shilan called Songzhi and asked her to order the sedan chair to go to the Yangxin Palace.

-

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

The queen knew about the incident in Yikun Palace early on and immediately went to the Yangxin Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here." Su Peisheng walked quickly into the hall and said in a low voice.

At this time, Yinzhen was reading a memorial. Upon hearing this, he immediately put the memorial down and raised his eyebrows.

"Please invite the Queen in."

"Yes."

Not long after, the queen came over.

"Your Majesty." Yixiu bowed.

Yinzhen stood up and said, "Queen, please sit down."

"Your Majesty has been reading memorials all afternoon, and he needs to get up and rest. The flowers in the imperial garden are in full bloom, and the music is beautiful. Your Majesty should go out for a walk more often."

Yixiu's words have a double meaning.

After the incident with Concubine Hua, An Lingrong had not been summoned by the Emperor for a long time.

Concubine Qi is not ambitious enough and lives in Suiyuxuan. Under the brilliant influence of Concubine Wan, the Emperor no longer wants to see her shadow.

The reason why I said this is that I want the emperor to take some time to visit the concubines in the harem.

Even though Concubine Wan could not serve the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber these days, the rain and dew did not fall on others.

Yinzhen spoke indifferently, just to respond.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. But I have state affairs to attend to and I cannot let go of them until they are finished." After saying that, he turned to look at Yixiu.

"What is the matter that the Queen has come here for?"

Yixiu nodded, a trace of confusion on her gentle face, "There is indeed something. A eunuch just came to report that General Nian and the Fourth Prince broke into Concubine Li's residence and seemed to have fought..."

She deliberately left some room for imagination to make Yinzhen confused.

It was a serious crime for an outsider to break into the inner palace, but Nian Gengyao actually took action.

Of course Yinzhen knew that the Queen was here to make a complaint, so he remained silent and waited for Yixiu to finish her words.

Yixiu smiled and said, "This is about General Nian. I don't know how to deal with it, so I came to ask the emperor."

Yinzhen frowned and asked, "General Nian trespassed into Lady Li's residence. Why? Do you know the reason?"

"It is said that the Fourth Prince discovered that the maid was acting suspiciously. After some investigation, he found that it was the mother of Concubine Li who came to the palace to accompany the birth of Concubine Hua. General Nian then took action."

"I see. I remember that Concubine Li's mother has been in the palace for several days. Has she not left yet?"

Yinzhen suddenly asked.

Seeing that he had deviated from the topic, Yixiu hurriedly explained, "Recently, the Imperial Concubine has been ill, and the Concubine Wan is pregnant. There are many things to do and she has put the matter of leaving the palace on hold without any instructions. I didn't expect that she would do such a sinful thing privately."

"It's just that many people have seen General Nian break into Lady Li's residence. This matter..."

Yixiu deliberately kept silent, and raised her eyes to carefully examine Yinzhen's expression.

Yinzhen frowned, "Although there are reasons for this, it is still an act of usurpation."

Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about how to deal with the matter, Yixiu felt happy and even expectant.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Su Peisheng walked in.

"emperor."

Yinzhen asked unkindly, "What's the matter?"

"The Imperial Concubine and General Nian have arrived. They said they came to apologize."

Upon hearing this, Yixiu's unsuspecting face darkened.

But normalcy soon returned.

Smiling gently and appropriately.

However, the expression on Yinzhen's face was obviously relaxed. He raised his hand and said, "Please come in."

I saw Nian Shilan and Nian Gengyao approaching one after the other.

They bowed and said, "May the Emperor be blessed with good health and longevity, and may the Empress be blessed with good health and longevity."

When Nian Shilan saluted, he even coughed violently.

Yinzhen frowned, feeling somewhat reluctant, "Hurry up, hurry up, Su Peisheng will give you a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nian Gengyao said.

Nian Shilan was still coughing.

Yinzhen expressed his concern, "Didn't I tell you to rest well in the palace? Why did you come out?"

Nian Shilan shook her head, looking sick and speaking sadly.

"My brother has committed such an act of usurpation. I am both afraid and anxious. Therefore, I am here with my brother to apologize to the Emperor and the Empress."

As soon as Nian Shilan came in and saw the queen was there, she immediately understood what was going on.

The Queen must have done this intentionally.

But the queen did not expect that Nian Gengyao had changed.

Therefore, she did not expect that Nian Shilan and Nian Gengyao would come to apologize.

So he filed a complaint without any scruples.

But Nian Shilan didn't know that the Queen and the Emperor had just talked to that extent.

I don’t know what the emperor is thinking.

She coughed lightly.

Nian Gengyao immediately stepped forward and did as he had agreed upon when he came.

He said, "Your Majesty, I was reckless today. I was anxious to protect my sister, so I trespassed into the palace. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The queen gritted her teeth, watching as the emperor was about to give in.

She immediately spoke up, "It is a great honor to admit one's mistakes and improve oneself. In my opinion, there is indeed a reason for this. However, General Nian should be more careful. After all, Concubine Li is pregnant at this time. I still remember that the imperial physician recently reported that Concubine Li's pregnancy was unstable. I wonder if Concubine Li has had a miscarriage."

Originally nothing had happened, and after apologizing, the matter was over.

But the prince will be implicated. If anything happens to the baby in Li Guiren's belly, this matter will not be a small crime of usurpation.

Nian Shilan lowered her eyes and rubbed her fingers.

Fortunately, she had taken out the things that the queen had hidden in the Buddha statue, otherwise, what happened today would have happened.

Besides, Concubine Li was already in poor health.

Concubine Li definitely could not bear such a blow.

The child in the womb is doomed to die.

It turns out that this is the Queen’s plan.

Thinking of this, Nian Shilan said, "Your Majesty, please bless me. Before I came out, I had the imperial physician carefully examine Concubine Li. The imperial physician said that although Concubine Li was very upset in the past few days, the fetus was not affected. Now the dragon fetus is safe and sound. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

What it means is that the dragon fetus is fine, so don't make too much of it.

Hearing this, Yinzhen nodded.

"Since Lady Li is fine, and this matter has its reasons, then why should I apologize? General Nian is so eager to protect his sister, and the love between brother and sister has moved me."

Nian Gengyao immediately thanked him, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. I am very grateful."

Seeing this, the Queen couldn't say anything else, so she could only ask, "Then Your Majesty, what do you do with Concubine Li's mother?"

"Beating to death." Yinzhen just uttered two words lightly.

There is no emotion at all, and I don't intend to say much.

It's as easy as crushing an ant.

The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes, I will do it right away."

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Nian Shilan also said, "I have been out for a long time and I feel cold. I am afraid I am not feeling well. I have to leave now."

Yinzhen immediately stepped forward with concern, frowning, "How could this happen? Hurry back to the palace and let the imperial physician treat you properly."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will take care of myself."

Nian Gengyao also cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, would you allow me to escort Concubine Hua?"

Yinzhen nodded, "Of course, go ahead."

"Chen and concubine retire."

"My minister retire."

Seeing this scene, Yixiu felt an indescribable sour feeling in her heart.

The emperor had never cared so much about her, and Concubine Hua took all of this away.

She was somewhat unwilling, but no one could guess what she was thinking.

Nian Shilan walked behind the queen and left the palace together.

Nian Shilan teased and said softly, "The Queen is so quick to get the news. I'm afraid that just as this happened in Yikun Palace, the Queen knew about it right away, right?"

Yixiu smiled, "I am the master of the six palaces, I should know everything."

"Your Majesty is right. I'm sure nothing in the palace can be hidden from your eyes and ears. So I want to ask, when Noble Lady Li's mother cast a curse to poison me, why didn't you remind me?"

Nian Shilan was smiling from beginning to end and was not angry at all.

The more emotionally stable an opponent is, the more likely you are to drive him crazy.

Yixiu naturally retorted, "Noble Lady Li is far away in Yikun Palace. How can I know what she does in private?"

"Yes, the Queen doesn't know. Why is she so sure today that the one who cast the curse is Lady Li's mother? You know, up to now, she has not admitted that she is the one who cast the curse."

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, she stopped.

Yixiu also stopped and looked into her eyes. "People who do evil will naturally not admit it. What can we say about this?"

"This is a matter concerning me, so I will definitely investigate it thoroughly and will not let her go. The Emperor said he wants to kill Madam Li, so I will do it, but I also need to know who wants to use Madam Li to harm me, Queen, don't you agree?"

Nian Shilan spoke lightly, but the meaning in her eyes became deeper and deeper.

Yixiu narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Your Highness, if you want to check, please take care of yourself. I'm leaving first."

"Farewell, Her Majesty." Nian Shilan saluted gracefully.

She knew that what she had just said was obviously true.

Yixiu was afraid that she would investigate further, but she thought that she was too weak to be seriously ill.

It's just that she was wrong, she couldn't check it, but there are others who can check it.

-

Yikun Palace.

Nian Gengyao accompanied Nian Shilan on the last leg of the journey, from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the Yiku Palace.

The two chatted along the way.

We were just chatting about the fun things that happened when we were kids, catching butterflies, fighting crickets, riding horses and practicing swordplay.

Almost to Yikun Palace.

Nian Gengyao could no longer send her off.

"Today I can only take you here. Tomorrow I will go back to the northwest. From now on, you will have to walk the road by yourself."

"Brother." Nian Shilan's nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.

She had waited for many days and nights for this meeting with her brother whom she had missed for a long time.

But I could only stay for two days, it was so short.

Nian Gengyao smiled slightly and looked at his sister, who was tall and graceful, with a graceful appearance.

He always thought that his sister was the best woman in the world.

She once looked at him with a smile and begged him.

"Brother, I like Prince Yong. Can you help me to be a matchmaker? Okay, brother..."

She once loved a man so passionately that she asked him to be a matchmaker for her.

But now, she looked at him with tears in her eyes.

As if saying...

"Brother, I have suffered so much, can you please take me away?"

But he hated himself. He hated himself for being able to send her to Prince Yong's mansion with his own hands, but not being able to take her out of the deep palace with his own hands.

He suddenly felt that he, the King of the Northwest, was becoming increasingly boring.

"After this separation, I don't know when we will meet again. Brother, please take care of your health. One day, you and I will meet again. I will definitely wish you great success in your ambitions."

Nian Shilan took a deep breath, suppressed the impulse in her heart, and spoke softly.

"I've remembered everything you told me. Don't worry, just take care of yourself. I'll do everything you ask."

Nian Gengyao spoke finally, looking at his sister, patting her shoulder, conveying some comforting meaning.

"Take care, brother. Protect the Nian family."

Nian Shilan spoke last.

Nian Gengyao nodded and finally turned and left.

He walked quickly, and left with a majestic stride.

It seems that he is afraid that if he is a step slower, he will change his mind.

Because we are afraid that we will be slow, we will act rashly.

Songzhi helped Nian Shilan back to the palace.

She held her head up and felt a terrible headache.

Even her face felt a little sore. She had been tense for too long and her body was too weak.

She almost fainted in the next second, but fortunately Songzhi brought her medicine in time.

"Your Majesty, this is the pill that Doctor Xie left behind. Please take it quickly. The medicine you ordered has been boiled. I believe Fu Dong has already gone to get it."

Nian Shilan grabbed the pill in Songzhi's hand and put it into her mouth, still holding her chest.

She suddenly remembered something and grabbed Songzhi's hand.

"Quick, go call the Fourth Prince. Then you can sit down as I tell you to."

Nian Shilan pulled Songzhi to her side and whispered something in her ear.

"Yes." Songzhi agreed immediately and ran out to do it swiftly.

Soon Fudong brought the medicine and Nian Shilan drank it quickly. Only then did she feel better.

The Fourth Prince arrived soon.

He pushed open the door and asked, "Mother, are you looking for me?"

"Fourth Prince, please come forward. Mother has something to say to you."

The Fourth Prince beat her to the punch and asked, "Mother, are you going to tell your son about Madam Li?"

Nian Shilan was a little surprised, "How did you know?"

"Mother and uncle just went to the Yangxin Palace to apologize to the emperor, so I secretly investigated the matter again. I had people question and interrogate Madam Li several times. Although she has admitted to casting the curse, I found that the palace maid Ling'er beside her is very suspicious."

"Oh? What's going on?"

Nian Shilan was surprised that the Fourth Prince reacted so quickly and did it immediately.

It didn't waste any time.
